Sahar Khakneshin

I am a graduate student in the School of Optometry and Vision Science at the University of Waterloo with an academic and professional background in Optometry. My supervisors are Dr. Tammy Labreche and Dr. Shamrozé Khan. My research focuses on low vision rehabilitation, particularly exploring how bioptic telescopic spectacles can support safe driving for individuals with age-related macular degeneration. My interests include visual function assessment, assistive technologies for low vision, and the development of effective rehabilitation and training strategies to promote independence and safe mobility. I am passionate about improving clinical approaches that enhance quality of life for people with visual impairment.
